International award-winning filmmaker Kevin P. Miller has today released a new documentary about the threat to medical freedom of choice.

'We Become Silent: The Last Days of Health Freedom' details the ongoing attempts by multinational pharmaceutical interests and giant food companies — in concert with the WTO, the WHO and others — to limit the public’s access to herbs, vitamins and other therapies.

During the 1990s, the legendary James Earl Jones narrated Miller’s previous film, ‘Let Truth Be The Bias.’ The hard-hitting documentary exposed U.S. government complicity in suppressing the truth about the effectiveness of alternative/complementary medicines, and mobilized public support around the Dietary Supplement Health Education Act (DSHEA), which defended U.S. consumers' rights to health alternatives.

"It is vital to engage the worldwide public about the dangers of CODEX ALIMENTARIUS," said Miller. "If we don’t defend our health freedoms, they will be lost — and nothing would make the drug companies happier than to have free rein over our health."

Miller told BreakForNews.com that the film's title 'We Become Silent' was inspired by the words of Martin Luther King -who famously said: "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."

The film is narrated by Dame Judi Dench, the noted UK actress who has won multiple Golden Globe awards, an Oscar, and a Tony for her on-stage work, in addition to dozens of other honors throughout her prestigious career.

'We Become Silent’ features the only known video from inside a Codex meeting, exclusive interviews with delegates to the Codex Alimentarius Commission, U.S. Food and Drug Administration officials, two U.S. Congressmen, actor Mel Gibson, and more. Consumer activists like Dr. Robert Verkerk of Alliance for Natural Health play a major role in the documentary, as do many of the best-known health freedom advocates from around the world.

'We Become Silent’ will air in the USA on WorldLink Television (25 million US homes) and Well TV is aggressively courting UK, Canadian and European TV networks as well. It will be available for sale and distribution to health food stores, doctors, and consumers worldwide through the Internet.
